This is a great idea but it doesn't go far enough. What about us folks in coach? God forbid a crying baby disturbs a member of the upper crust. What about us proles? Why are babies flying anyway? Where are they going? Babies and planes don't mix. Parents with babies should stay home with them. Period. When you have a baby, you need to resign yourself and stop bothering the rest of the world. You made a choice, deal with it, and stop subjecting me to all that noise.
The other possibility would be having flights EXCLUSIVELY for babies. So they could cry all they want and only bother each other, instead of the rest of the human race.
Bottom line is, babies are a nuisance, but they are just so damn cute and the cuteness protects them from any real objective criticism, and that just isn't fair. Kudos to Malaysia. Who knew they would be the new vanguard in common sense?
MALAYSIA Airlines is to ban babies travelling in first class on the airline's new Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-400 fleet.
The airline said they have introduced the baby ban after receiving a number of complaints about crying infants from first class passengers, the Australia Business Traveller reports.
The airline has decided not to install bassinets in the first class cabin of its Boeing 747-400 fleet.
Those wishing to travel with babies will have to book bassinets in business or economy sections instead.
Malaysia Airlines CEO Tengku Azmil told the Australia Business Traveller first-class passengers complained about spending a lot of money and not being able to sleep “due to crying infants".
